Not to sound too unpatriotic, but I have a bet on Federer to win in straight sets… So yeah, c’mon Feds!

I can't believe I have only just realised there is a Tennis thread here
As you can see from my sig, I like me some Rafa Met him at queens and Wimbledon this year, lovely guy.

I wasn't too upset he lost to Murray in Toronto though, Murray played well and Rafa not so much, Murray deserved the W.

I will be furious if Murray loses today though. Fed is Rain delay atm, but Murray is a set up

No US Open posts yet?

I was there for the first couple of days last week. It was so hot and humid - horrible conditions to watch, let alone play! Tickets for Ashe were a little out of my price range, but with a grounds admission you get access into every other court anyway.

I'm rooting for Nadal to win this year - it's about time he did it and I think now is his best chance to do so. And as for the women, I can't see anyone beating Clijsters at the minute.

No one cares? Oh well. Let me be the first here to congratulate the greatest athlete in the world on his remarkable achievement - first US Open, ninth Major and completion of the career Grand Slam at the grand old age of 24. Well done, Rafa!

Oh and well done to Kim Clijsters too! Coming out of retirement has been the best choice in her career.

Vamos Rafa! Just skip to 2 mins and listen to two really humble and considerate lads. Love Nadal acknowledging Djokovic's great attitude at facing a loss like that in front of the cameras, which is what he basically does himself, unlike Federer. ha ha.

Federer v. Nadal final!

I'll put my money on Federer, based purely on his skill and display shown this week!

I would like to see Nadal win as well, but Federer is just playing so well.

YEAH! The match between those two [MurrayNadal] was amazing! Couldn't have called it at the end!

Crap! I always miss the good ones!

There just seems to be no stopping Fed! Each year, I kinda think he's bound to start dropping down the rankings as he gets older, but he just doesn't!!

Yeah, I agree.

He'll retire when he's ranked quite high; like Justine Henin did, but probably not at World No.1

Cool
^^ Well it's back now. Seems redicilous how short the "off season" is

Whats people predictions for all the four majors?

I'm going

AO -Nadal- He's on a mission to hold all four I think, when he's in that mood and healthy, noone can beat him.

RG (French Open) Nadal again -He's not called the King of Clay for nothing

Wimbledon- Federer- I think this will be the tournament Federer will be most determined to win this year tbh.

USO- Maybe controversial but I'll say Murray. Just because he has to win one sometime doesn't he? In all seriousness, I think this one is his best chance to win one.

Curious to know what others think
